Mr.. M. received an apoplectic shock,

Mr.. Morse was born at West Fairlee

Worcester, Mass. in 1847. Here he
worked as mason and was engaged
in the building enterprise of WOrces-
ter for thirty years as journeyman

he erected are the Stockwell and
GOulding blocks. For the past ten
years he has made his home in Florida,
where he leaves widow and a child
three years old. He was member of
Morning Star Lodge F. A. M. and of
Co. LIST Battalion heavy artillery,
which was stationed at Fort Warren III
1864. He also was in the Kansas free
state war at the battle of Ossawattimie
Creek, under John Brown and was
with 20 or 80 others taken prisoner by
the U. s. troops and marched off 80
miles chained together two by two.
Mr.. M. was one of seven children four
sons and three daughters. Their IA
Their, Calvin Morse, an old resident of
this place, was revolutionary soldier.
Two of the daughters are married and
living in the West. The Oldest son
died several years ago, the youngest
